1t is observable that there is a
large demand for city property than
has been experienced here for several
years, and the same may be said of
farming lands quite number of
sales have been made already this
spring, at very fair prices, and
we are in consequence under the be-
lief that Wahpeton and Richland
county are growing in population
and wealth speadily, healthily and
surely, without Il boom. We want
no booms here. Booms are disas-
trous to the welfare of the COM
munity afflicted with them. Let
the board of trade advertise our
county east and south and we shall
soon all be as busy as a hive of bees,
and have all the population we
want. We have the best county in
the Territory of Dakota, and a visit
to this and other counties will fully
convince any unpredjudice mind OF
the truth of this assertion.
